Welcome to ALEX BROWN at Books Inc. Alameda! Join us for an exciting in-person event with the talented author Alex Brown at Books Inc. in Alameda. Get ready for an evening filled with book discussions, signings, and maybe even some surprises! Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to meet the author and connect with fellow book lovers. Mark your calendars and we'll see you there!


About the book: New York Times bestselling and award-winning authors weave interconnected haunted house stories to build a unique collection of chilling tales.

A dance to the death. A girl who’s just as monstrous as H.H. Holmes. A hallway that’s constantly changing—and hungry. All of these stories exist in the same place—within the frame of a particular house that isn’t bound by the laws of time and space.

Following in the footsteps of dark/horror-filled YA anthologies like His Hideous Heart and Slasher Girls and Monster Boys, and Netflix’s ground-breaking adaptation of The Haunting of Hill House, this YA speculative fiction anthology explores how the permanence of a home can become a space of transition and change for both the inhabitants and the creatures who haunt them.

Each story in the anthology will focus on a different room in the house and feature unique takes on monsters from a wide array of cultural traditions. Whether it’s a demonic Trickster, a water-loving Rusalka, or a horrifying, baby-imitating Tiyanak, there’s bound to be something sinister lurking in the shadows.


Alex Brown (she/her) is a queer biracial Filipino American writer who loves to root for the final girl—especially if she’s a monster. She is also the co-creator of The Bridge, a haunting, folklore-filled narrative fiction podcast that’s had over 1,000,000 downloads to date! Alex has a story in the Indie Bestselling YA Folk Horror anthology, The Gathering Dark and is co-editing Night of the Living Queers, a YA Horror anthology. Alex lives in Los Angeles with her partner and their two chaotic cats. Alex’s YA Comedy-Horror debut, Damned If You Do, was published in fall 2023.

One of Books Inc.’s favorite aspects of being booksellers is getting the chance to welcome and host hundreds of authors a year, from house-hold names to local, debut authors and we look forward to continuing to provide the Bay Area with “The Experience You Can’t Download” in our stores when we can assure authors and guests that it is safe to do so. In the meantime, we are working on an exciting list of virtual events for both adults and children and we look forward to exploring this new format with you.

Sales equate success, and as with in-store events, booksales made from an independent bookstore benefit the author, publisher, and lead to future event bookings. Please help us keep the Bay Area the wonderful literary hub that it is by supporting your local Books Inc.
